About this property

Great Creekside Hideaway Rustic Cabin - Secluded, Creekside Family Cabin

Nestled in the mountains above beautiful Lake Nantahala, this rustic log cabin provides a picturesque, secluded setting without being totally isolated from the modern world.

The Creekside Hideaway has one bedroom and a loft bedroom upstairs. The master bedroom contains one queen-size bed. The loft bedroom contains one queen bed and one twin bed. There is also a convertible bed downstairs in front of a huge stone fireplace.

Modern amenities include a kitchen (no stove or oven) and bathroom with shower. Additional amenities include TV, DVD, Phone, movies, and games, but what this cabin is really all about its unique beautiful natural surroundings and things to do in the area.

A rushing creek flows underneath the rear deck. The cabin is bordered by the Nantahala National Forest that invites hiking and exploring. You will have a short walk from the driveway to the cabin crossing a small bridge over the creek.

The driveway is short but steep-so a 4WD vehicle is recommended in the winter months especially.

*Please note, this cabin does not offer internet*

Amazing cabin. Perfect for a couple or our small family of 4. Would highly recommend if you want quiet and seclusion. Andrews and Murphy are not bad drives to get to. We are already planning to return.

The cabin was clean and well equipped except for the kitchen which could have used some pot holders and dish towels. The phone did not work as listed so there was no form of communication from the cabin.Other than that we really enjoyed the property. Being right on the creek was a plus.

Only issue we had was the phone service doesn't actually work. We bought a new land line phone for it, its not the phone. There is some kind of line interference but when someone talks to you it just makes a muffled growling sound and they cant hear you either.Please have the phone service checked out. Outside of that though, this is without a doubt a dream stay if you are wanting to unplug and enjoy a fresh mountain stream and some coffee on the porch!

Excellent vacation spot

This cabin was everything that we had hoped it would be. The setting was fantastic and very beautiful. The cabin was extremely comfortable and cozy and very romantic. The creek off the back porch was a gem to enjoy. I would recommend this Cabin strongly. We will visit it again.

Good rustic weekend

The cabin was rustic, as expected and desired. There was no propane for the grill and the tank that ran the gas fireplace seemed to be empty; or possibly the fireplace was not functioning. It's a great setting all in all.

Peaceful Setting with lots of privacy.

Property is neatly situated beside a brook/stream where we were able to con some small trout out from under a leaf cover to devour our simple bread balls. Amusing, I could have sworn they grew over night, non over 6 inches but provided the hubby and I with amusement in the evening while enjoying a glass of wine before wandering down to the firepit where we watched the flames dancing and heard the stream babbling. Left the property with misgivings and our only disappointment was that we originally saw that there was a wood burning fireplace but it had been converted to gas by the time of our stay. All in all we said we would stay here again.

Just what we needed. This property was prefect for our parent getaway. Close to the lake and marina cafe. Beautiful area. Loved being close to the mountain stream and seeing the fireflies at night. Can't wait to bring the kids back next trip!

A PEACE of Heaven

I've been home now for hours and STILL attempting to "come down" from my time at the cabin -Which, by the way, has been dubbed 'The Sacred Spot' 🙌🏾 Already looking forward to my next stay. You won't come back down the mountain same!

Peaceful Stay

This cabin was an accidental booking for us. However, we are always up for adventures. We made the best of it. Our kiddos definitely enjoyed the stay, although I believe it was more of a peaceful getaway from home. We definitely enjoyed the cabin life without phones.

Cabin in the Woods

This cabin is a perfect example of the term "cabin in the woods". It is a true log cabin. It sits right on a creek bank. It is secluded but not isolated. We have stayed here twice and love getting off the grid and enjoying the beauty of God's creation.

Honeymoon bliss

This cabin was perfect! Just the drive to it was mesmerizing. Very secluded, although you can see 1 neighbor from the back deck, but they were far enough away it didnt bother us. I loved having my coffee on the back deck every morning listening to the stream. The pictures online were very much accurate, and this place is a little piece of heaven. We had absolutely zero cell service, but we were warned of this by the online listing lol. It is nice that the cabin has a land line that I was able to give to my family for emergency purposes. Dont let the driveway description scare you, yes its steep, but totally doable as long as you dont lose momentum (we visited in summer). The host had everything ready for us, cabin clean, clean towels, left treats out, and even left the lights on for us. I would recommend finding this place in the day though, bc it is dark on those roads. There is a very bright flood light in the driveway though. Our GPS got us there just fine. The check out process is A+, you literally just put the key where it is supposed to go, that's it. Which we really appreciated bc it's enough to pack up and head back home. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would love to return!

Secluded but needs repairs

The cabin was nice and secluded but could use some updating ( appliances and counter tops, back sliding door, bathroom. There are cracks were pests can get in. We killed a copperhead snake in the house. It was up in the TV area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The cabin has been left rustic as we call it as there are quite a lot of people who look for a budget authentic style cabin. We have already taken measures into place to deter the pests and snakes. Sorry you had to deal with that.
